Mind you, since buying an old Land-Rover, I've been pleasantly

Is it BSW and BSF mainly - or Unified? Some UK makers took ages to
finally change to Unified. Especially on engines etc which may
have been a pre-war design, basically.

UNF. Except for the bits that are metric. (1980)

You mean one with springs? ;-)

Indeed. Over-rated, they are.

(Mine's on parabolics, so the ride is merely abysmal, rather than non-
existant)
